A few e-mails from Judy to warm you up, to get you interested and to get you ready :

1 : E-mail from Judy dated Saterday 29 January 2005 with the subject : You are doing a fantastic job on your web-site.

Hello Barend & Trees... I just love your e-mails... They were great... Your English is perfect... I can just hear your accent... I met a guy from Holland, when I lived in Miami. His name was Bard Molendyke... I wanted to adopt him... It is a wonderful thing to be communicating with people who love GINO as we all do... meeting him in 1999 at The Tralf and then meeting him again at Artpark, are memories that will live on in my heart... I took 2 rolls of film. Unfortunatly it wasn't a digital camera... I got a beautiful picture of GINO and I at the end. He was all in black and I had in a turquoise top. The contrast was great. He actually called me over to him and said are you ready? Imagine that! You are never ready for GINO!

We were there for 2 hours of rehersal and he was so friendly and warm. After rehersals I went back to the tent where he was and just introduced myself. We started talking and he remembered me from The Tralf. I was in shock to say the least. I asked him if he would take a picture with me and he told me sure no problem. He wanted to wait till after the show!!!! Well I melted right there. He was eating. It was like we knew each other for ever. That's how he makes you feel. Well Thank You again for writting me back. I'm starting to ramble on about GINO as we all could... God Bless You both... You are doing a fantastic job on your web-site... Talk to you soon.
With Much Love.
Judy Buffalo,NY.

Hi Barend & Trees...
I just got your e-mail... I love hearing from you two... It's like I know you both... Yes, Donna Marie is my cousin... Artpark was her first GINO concert... I told her after you see GINO live you will never be the same... Guess what? She's not... LOL... I would love to mail you the few pictures of GINO.... The one with him and I and I have a great one I captured of him walking on stage... I called his name and he had this boyish grin on his face and he put his head down and kept on walking... Also he signed two (2) pictures from the 70's that I took at his first concert... One where he's playing the piano and the other is with his head thrown back and his arms spread out... I will make copies of them and then you can send me your address via e-mail... I know what you guys look like... and then you'll know what I look like... HAHAHA... Then I will feel like we really know each other.... God Bless you two for taking the time from your hectic lives and fabulous web-site to write me back... Peace and Love...
With Much Love.
Judy Buffalo,NY

Good morning Barend & Trees...
Thank you for your kind letters... I love hearing from you two... Yes... I will have the pictures made and send them out to you... I would be honored to have them on your MASTER OF MUSIC web site... I also have a scanner, but my computer is new and I haven't downloaded the program in yet... I've been so busy... I finally ordered the CD from Japan... It should be here any day now... I'm so excited because I love Gino's voice on this song... I can't wait to hear that... I taped the "Canto" show on Canadian TV... The quality isn't as good as DVD... But it's still Gino right? My sister also was with us at Artpark... She loves Gino too... She also has been going to see him since the 70's... Ah GINO definatly a gift from GOD... Have to go write Donna now but you two take care and God Bless you and your family... Friends in GINO...
Love. Judy

Hi My Sweet Dutch Friends...
What can I say about that fabulous web page of GINO and I... WOW!!! Thank You so much for finding my comments and feelings interesting enough to do a wonderful page like that. I am honored...It brought tears to my eyes when I saw the e-mails and my picture with him... I have met many performers through the years... and I must say GINO is the only one who truly cares about his fans... If his audience is pumped up for him its total electricity... He actually can feel out his crowd... He never expected that many people at Artpark that evening... You could see the awe on his face... just to know that people were there for him, not because it was free... Everyone there would have paid for that show!!! He has come so far from the 70's shows but yet he still let loose and started to dance and command the stage... He was in full control of his band himself and his audience... A truly gifted performer...

Yes, I am very Italian... my family is from Palermo and Gino's family is from Campobosso, Scicily... Buffalo Has always been big fans of GINO'S... I even saw him in Miami when I lived in Florida... It was his" Brother to Brother" tour... then I came home to Buffalo and went to Memorial Auditorium to see his show again? What can I say but BRAVO GINO for making 30 years of fabulous music... You are 1 (one) of a kind and that's what makes you so special and unique... As long as you keep making music that's as long as us GINO fans will buy it and come to your shows... You are awesome!!!

Thank You Barend & Trees for allowing me my space to write down my feelings and experiences for this wonderful entertainer and person...
God Bless You Both... Love. Judy

8 : E-mail from Judy dated Monday 7 March 2005 with the subject : Emailing Gino's Pictures...

Hello Barend & Trees...
My sweet Dutch Friends. I am in awe. Absolute amazement!!! You two are awesome... What can I say , I'm speechless...That picture of GINO is so reminiscent of the 70's... Fabulous... Here are more pictures... 1 picture is the one I captured of him walking onstage at Artpark... I called his name and as you can see in the picture he put his head down with that boyish grin... and just melted my heart... Check out the pack of cookies in his hand... The other 2 pictures are from a show in 1976 or 1977... I'm not sure... but he signed them at Artpark for me and we were both laughing... He said is that me? I said it sure is... He was amazed at them...

The first song I ever heard was "People Gotta Move" that was it for me.... I worked at a huge record store called "Record Theatre" at the time so I bought "Crazy Life", "Powerful People" and "Storm at Sunup"... Which is still my favorite... I got to know the distributors from A&M records so I have a few promo copies of GINO's albums...I still have all my LP's but have also replaced them with CD's except "Crazy Life"...." Brother to Brother" is another favorite of mine... What can I say they are all my favorites... I can't say I don't like any of his music because he is a genius at everything he does... I would love to just sit and talk to Gino for hours about anything... His thoughts, life everything... He's got to be amazing to talk with... God Bless you both... CIAO... Take care.
Love, Your Friend JUDY Buffalo, N. Y.
